Internet Explorer vs. Firefox: printing problems Monday, July 20, 2009 at 2:00 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by OliverW (1 messages posted) I'm using (on my current desktop PC) Win98SE with Internet Explorer 6 and FireFox 2.0.0.20 (and, in case it's relevant, my printer is a Canon S750, inkjet with 4 easily refilled ink tanks). I think that is the latest version of FF that will run under Win98. FF is my default browser and I only use IE for special purposes, the most frequent of which is: there are a few web pages that just don't print correctly from FF. If I want to print them, IE can usually do it. The problem is that when printed from FF, the problem pages may have a variety of faults (not present when the page is seen on the monitor) such as a new page part-way down a real page (probably after certain images followed by text), images and text overlapping, text cut off at the right margin. And... the print preview is not always a good predictor of what will be on the paper. I don't know any way to predict when this will occur: I print the page with FF and, if it's "bad", I run IE, copy the URL from FF, print from IE and then quit IE. Does anybody have a similar problem or explanation or better solution? (Sorry, I can't find an example right now.)
